Getting my cat to be more hydrated. Tips?
My baby boy is about 12 lbs last that I took him to the vets (he's a Siberian Mix). I had recently gotten him the PetLibro water fountation from the Catit Water Fountain. Already love it. I love the design and the fact that I can track his water intake.
With that in mind, I had noticed that he only drinks about 2 oz of water a day. When I researched to see how much water he should be drinking, the recommended was 8-10 oz. Aside from drinking water, he also stays hydrated with the wet food I feed him daily, which is the Friskies lil soups. But I fear it's not enough. AND on top of that, when it comes to wet food, he's very particular. I can't feed him wet foods with mostly solids as he'll only drinks the liquids out of it, but it can't be all liquids because he won't eat it at all. So the Lil Soups has been the compromise. But, I understand that these are meant to be toppers and not full meals of themselves. When I lift the scruff on his neck, it does go back down to normal, no delays or anything.
What have you all done to help your kitty reach their water goals? Do you also have a particular cat like mine when it comes to his wet food?
